K67 kiosk

Typical K67 kiosk located at Ljubljana Central Market

K67 is a kiosk design created in 1966 by the Slovenian architect and designer Saša J. Mächtig.

Design

The design is based on polyfibre reinforced modules, which can be used as single units or combined to large agglomerations. It can serve many different functions; throughout its history it has been used for newspaper kiosks, parking-attendant booths, copyshops, market stands, shelter booths, chip stalls, student cafes, and lottery stands. It appears in different colour combinations (red is the most common), and it is easily visible and accessible. The modular design of the units enables the K67 to fit almost any location.

History

Patented in 1967, K67 was prepared for serial production in 1968 with the first exhibition of prototypes in Ljutomer, Slovenia. It was manufactured by the Imgrad factory in Ljutomer.
